Another of Creffield's victims is to be sent awav from her home today.

In the Late Election Official Canvass Wednesday State Results, The late election has passed into history, and the period of quiet that always follows such contests is now on. In the state, local option car ried by a majority of 5.000 and the primary election law ana state prin ter amendment to the constitution were adopted by still larger majori ties. The election ot the republi can state ticket by increased major ' ities together with the return of Williamson and Hermann to con gress are also results of the ballot battle- Hermann's majority -.of a bout 2,300 last year is increased this time to something less than 6.000. , The legislative complexion is but slightly changed as a consequence of the shake up, the result being a still further increase of the republi can majority. According to the latest returns, there will be six dem ocratic and 24 republican senators, and ten democratic and 50 republi can members of the lower house. Judge James Hamilton is elected judge in the Second judicial dis trict by a majority ot about 1,500 having carried every county in the district, each of which is republican. In the Third judical district, Bur nett, republican, and William Gal loway, democrat, are elected circuit judges, the latter having defeated B L. Eddy, formerly of Corvallis. and Judge Burnett having defeated Judge Boise, the veteran jurist. The official count of Benton was made Wednesday. Justice Holgate, of Corvallis, and Justice William son, of Fairmount precinct, with the countv clerk made the official canvas. The tally sheets of e: ch precinct were recounted, but no change in figures resulted from the canvass. The majorities for the va rious candidates, together with those for the initiative measures, are as follows: Local option, 380; primary election. 426; state printer amendment, 726; Hermann, for congress, 200; Moore, for supreme judge, 248; Bailey, for food com missioner, 285; Hamilton, tor cir cuit judge, 51; Avery, for senator. 59; Burnett, for sheriff, 269; Moses, for clerk, 8; Vincent, for recorder, 337; Buchanan, for treasurer, 270; Davis, for assessor, 84; Denman, for superintendent ot schools, 551, Rickard. for commissioner, 45; Jones, for surveyor, 90; Wilkins, for coroner, 108. Thejull returns by precinct is to be found in anoth er column. In Corvallis, the election was one of the quietest that has been held in years. A considerable crowd was present on the street during the day, but at the polling places there was less buttonholing than is usu ally seen. On account of the polls being kept open an hour later than formerlv, the result in the Corvallis precincts -was correspondingly de layed, but this was atoned tor by the fact that there are now tele phone connections with every pre cinct, except Willamette, and the result on most of the candidates was known within a short time after midnight. The clerkship remain ed in doubt, however, until the counts were finished at Philomath and in Corvallis, precinct No. 1, where the canvass was not complet ed nntil about six o'clock in the morning. In the Corvallis precinct but few straight tickets were voted. In one of the largest precincts but eight tickets without scratch were cast. The scratching was as liberal on one side as the other, apparently, all voters on the county officers standing almost entirely for the man, their acquaintanceship or friendship for him, rather than for his political affiliations.

A tedious journey of thirty odd miles on foot, with nothing but a few strawberries to eat, was an act Tuesday by Attie Bray, one of the Holy Roller girls, recently sent from Corvallis to the insane asylum. The trip was from the asylum farm to Corvallis and the distance was covered between four in the morn ing and seven in the evening. 'Con sidering that Miss Bray is a frail young woman, suffering with a religious mania, the feat takes on the character of the unusual. She managed to escape from the attend ants at the asylum farm about four o'clock in the morning, and at once started for Corvallis. How many of the roads she traveled, she was unacquainted with is . not known, but she managed -to thread them with, sufficient certainty to reach the Albany bridge " at two o'clock in the afternoon. Passing over it, she found a secluded spot on this side, and there rested until four o'clock, after which she " re sumed her journey. A few minutes after seven o'clock she passed through Corvallis and made her way to the home of Victor Hurt, south of Mary's river. -There1 she was given food and kindly treated, and her arrival reported to the auth orities. . x Miss Bray is apparently not im proved in mental condition. When taken to the sheriff's office, pend ing the return to Salem, she re fused to be seated in a chair; but insisted, while she waited, in sit ting on the linoleum with which the floor is covered. -She was asked to sit on a chair but persistently re fused to do so. Then a cushion was offered her, but this too, she declined. ' At the home of J. D. Wells, where she was taken to wait the arrival of an asylum attendant, she manifested the same stolid disre gard for the conveniences that sane people are wont to utilize. She sat on the floor with her head bow ed. Asked by Mrs. Wells if she was sick, Miss Bray replied in the negative, adding that she was only engaged in prayer, During most of the hour or two that she was at the house, she maintained this at titude. When food was offered her at the dinner hour, she refused it. She started for Salem in charge of an asylum attendant early in- the afternoon of Wednesday. The case, though not in any sense unlike nearly all the-others of the sect, is deplorable. Miss Bray is a graduate of the Corvallis pub lic schools, and is of estimable character and amiable disposition. Her gentle traits always endeared her to those with whom she came in contact. Her victimization by the despicable teachings of the vil- lian Creffield is a condition that ev ery respectable citizen would like to see avenged. BURIED A LITTLE ONE. Death in the Cooper Home, North Town Father in Montana. of The three weeks' old infant in the home ot Mr. and Mrs. Grant Cooper who reside near the W. G. Davis place, north of town, was buried in Odd Fellows cemetery Thursday. The little one died Wednesday from the effects pi a violent attack of whooping cough The funeral occurred- from the home at 10 o'clock Thursday morn ing, and was conducted by Rev. Frank L. Moore. The father was absent from home during the illness and death of the babe,- and at last accounts, the news had not reached him. He is shearing sheep at an isolated camp in Montana, and it was impossible to communicate with him in time for him to attend the funeral. " In the same family a year or two ago, one of the chil" dren was burned to death. It j played too near a hot stove, the clothing took fire, and the little one ran out in the yard, and was so burned that it subsequently died in great agony. Excursion Rates to Yaquina Bay.

No 1, Freeh bread -at Dunn & Thatcher's, Big Corvallis Establishment ttf go to New Firm Mann's Furniture Store. . The well known furniture estab lishment of J. D." Mann & Co, is to change hands on the 25th inst A contract confirming the terms of the transfer was signed and deliv ered Thursday morning, and there is little or no chance for a hitch that will prevent the final consum mation of the deal. Tht purchas ers are Louis Hollenberg and J. J. Cady. . Mr. Hollenberg arrived a couple of months ago Irom Arkan sas, witn bis family and ' has since been looking diligently for an in vestment. He is a former Iowan, and at one time was engaged ex tensively in the mercantile business. He is a man of extensive means and a fine personal character. " Mr. Cady, the other partner in the new firm arrived about three years ago from Nebraska, and has since been employed at the college. The firm name is to be Hollenberg & Cady. The deal was negotiated by the real estate firm of Ambler & Waiters. The members of - the retiring firm are J. D. Mann and D. M. Smith. Mr. Smith has what he considers to be a better business opportunity elsewhere, and it is understood that the sale of the Corvallis business is ' for the pur pose of engaging in the ; other. The establishment under their manage ment has done an immense and no doubt a profitable trade. The second hand portion of the establishment will be temporarily continued by the old firm until it can be closed out. The new firm will occupy the two north rooms, at the present lo cation in the Fisher brick. Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Mann are citi zens whom Corvallisites regret to lose. THEY WANT CREFFIELD. More Reward for Him His Capture Would Net Four Hundred Dollars. -Renewed interest has been awakened in, the whereabouts of Creffield, the bogus apostle. A week or two ago, a certain report to which some credence , was at tached, seemed to indicate that the man wanted was in ' hiding at a certain point in the Northwest, and that a diligent effort might re sult in his discovery. The reward offered is so small as to be insuffi cient to induce detectives and oth ers to spend time and means in a search that in the end might turn out to be fruitless. With a number of his victims in the asylum for the insane, and with a growing belief that Creffield continues in commu nication with some of his Corvallis followers, a general desire is mani fest for the further pursuit and possible capture of the fugitive. Those in position to know, say that the very success Creffield has in eluding the officers has an un fortunate effect upon the unbalanc ed minds of the members of his sect. On this- account, and for other reasons, an ehort to increase the reward, has resulted in raising the sum to $400, which will go to the person or persons who bring the guilty man to justice. .Of the amount, $100 is offered in Multno mah county, an additional $100 has been in Sheriff Burnett's hands ever since Creffield -escaped from Corvallis, and these sums have been further increased by another $100 raised in subscription in Cor vallis, and $100 appropriated for the purpose by the county court of Benton.-- The order for the latter amount was made at', last week's session. The order recounts that Creffield is a criminal out of the ordinary that at large, he is a menace to the peace and happiness of the community, Jthat six of his followers have been committed to the insane asylum from Benton county, and that the sum of $100 be placed in the hands of the sher iff to be paid for the arrest and conviction , of the said Creffield.
